FRA new LH FCL near gate B22

[HUGE AL]

I kinda dig this place -- very chill. However, the tubs are apparently all screwed up and won't be fixed for a while.

Yup... I took that menus with me too ..... They made SKL F (or maybe even TPR (never been there )) looks "pale and cheap"

I have been to the FCT in FRA and the FCL in MUC and to SKL F and TRP in SIN.

The dining experience at the TRP is very nice as well (no comparison between Lobster Thermidor on the ground and in the air) but other than that the TPR is pretty underwhelming.

What is missing is:
- no better ground-handling
- no SPA facilities
- appropriate handling of upgrades/awards to/in F

Singapore really needs to catch up in terms of their first class lounge offering in comparison to LH. LH rocks on the ground, but in the air SQ rules!!

I was flying to a North African destination which normally always gets a (very) remote gate due to "security". Yet somehow this time it got an airbridge.

That's what I was told when I entered the lounge, only to get switched to B airbridge gate while I was inside = no transfer service.

Mine stuck at a remote gate. In fact, I can't remember the last time an MAN flight I was on wasn't a remote gate, thus adding welcome value to the car transfer.

Yep, my LH4850 to MAN is going from a remote B gate as usual and I am told I will get a limo transfer from here.

I am in the new lounge now, very impressive.

My flight from BKK (with just 3 of us in F) arrived next to it, which was handy.

Same also if you get a remote stand from a B gate.

Tower lounge is business class - no point in going if you have access to FCL/FCT.
I was in FCL B a couple of weeks ago. Very empty. Fantastic service - I only had to take a couple of steps towards the bar and they'd pour another drink for me!

How about the new Tower lounge, did you get to see that?

Nice pics, thanks.. I still think the FCT looks 'nicer' though... will have to check it out myself one day..

Sorry Kyo, had no time to check the new Tower Lounge ..... got very "occupied" for the new FCL...

It's look exactly like FCT just minus personal butler. You also get limo drive if your flight depart from A or C section

Great pics!

So, is this now the best alternative for people who don't have access to the FCT, as opposed to the FCL in the A Gates (hope I got that location correct)?

yup... this near gate B22 FCL is the best alternative for people in transit who don't have visa to go to FCT
Afterall, you must walk or get your own ride to get to FCT, because they don't provide a shuttle anymore from the main terminal...
